Communication with You
We are mindful that the job placement market has recently been infiltrated by individuals attempting to commit fraudulent acts. Unauthorized persons have been known to place advertisements for fake positions in the name of innocent and unwitting employers by mixing them in among legitimate job postings on authorized sites and by posting them on sites not used by the genuine employer. These imposter advertisements sometimes contain contact information for interested applicants that are different from an employer’s career website or company email address. Such imposter job advertisements typically include promises of high-paying jobs with the requirement that job seekers first send sensitive personal information or money to pay for things such as visa applications or processing fees.
Please be advised that GreenPoint Ag will never ask a potential job seeker for any sort of advance payment as part of the recruitment or hiring process. You should look carefully at any email address that you are instructed to use to submit a job application.
